Making Science Fun

Larry in Underbelly's obit department learns how to make science fun:

A colleague at Yale, James R. Howe, recalled Dr. Ritchie’s knowledge of single-malt whiskies and his bravura demonstrations of the pharmacological effects of alcohol. He would begin an annual lecture by breaking an egg into a tumbler of whiskey. At the lecture’s end, Dr. Ritchie would display how the alcohol had denatured the protein in the egg white and then, with a flourish, would down the contents of the glass.

That's from the NYT obit of J. Murdoch Ritchie, Yale biophysicist.
